1175. Adulteration   of  triple   distilled water.    U.   S.  -v.   460   Ampuls   of  Triple
Distilled   Water.    Default   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 11005.    Sample No. 48842-F.)
On October 25, 1943, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of
Kentucky filed a libel against 460 ampuls, 10 cc. size, of triple distilled water at
Bellevue, Ky., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about September
20, 1943, from the Diarsenol Co., Inc., Buffalo, N. Y.; and charging that it was
adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it purported to be a drug,
ampuls of redistilled water, the name of which is recognized in the National
Formulary VII, an official compendium, but its quality and purity fell below the
standard set forth therein since it was contaminated with undissolved material.
On November 20,1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
